THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 590/79 (2), and in particular Article 26 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1512/78 (4), fixes at 50 tonnes the minimum quantity of a homogeneous lot of colza, rape or sunflower seed which may be offered to the intervention agency ; whereas experience has shown that this quantity is too small, and should accordingly be increased;

Whereas Article 3 of the same Regulation restricts intervention to colza and rape seed with a maximum erucic acid content of 10 % ; whereas the said figure should be reduced by progressive stages to 5 %;

Whereas Article 7 of the said Regulation provides that increases and reductions are to be applied to seeds offered for intervention which do not correspond to the standard quality ; whereas, in view of price developments during the 1978/79 marketing year, the increases and reductions set out in Annex I to Regulation No 282/67/EEC should be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
